It may not be my home town but for most of the people in my life it sure is. Spent many a summers in Thunder Bay … sauna, swim, beer, sauna, swim, beer followed by a Hoito breakfast with the family the following morning. It really doesn’t get much better.

Saw this music video on YouTube about T. Bay … I’ve always said that Thunder Bay would be a fantastic place to film pretty much anything.

Nice work buddy …

Well, it’s been a very exciting & eventful year so far here at the Lux Visual Effects studio.  Between all the staff there’s a total of three weddings & four babies! Crazy.  Personal developments aside, there’s also a lot of constructive growth & change underway.  Scott Parker is our new ‘go to’ Director of Sales & with that comes some beautiful new marketing & packaging collatoral which features a new “Lux logo”, business card brand, & motion graphics demo reel!  It’s all in the works so stay tuned …

PS – Happy Autumn!

i’ve always loved font design and typography so to see someone who can literally hand paint a font blew my mind… i feel as incompetent as the kid on the left surely must

The good folks at Motionographer put this up a couple of days ago but I just felt it was worth showing here. Here is some great examples of vfx breakdowns. As always, It is amazing to see just how much work goes into each shot.

Enjoy!

We would like to announce two new additions to our boutique:

Craig Clarke joins us as our Compositing Supervisor and brings with him years of worldly experience and talent!  (as well as his adorable dog Cody)
When Craig isn’t busy compositing, you can find him chasing tow trucks or complaining about the coffee.  Welcome Craig!!

Scott Parker is now our Cheif Technology Officer & a most appreciated addition.  In his short time here he has reinvented the world wide web, given everyone a sigh of relief, and driven Craig to the tow yard.  Thank you Scott!!

We are extremely happy we stole these boys from the East & very excited to have them both join the Lux Team.
Sorry Toronto …

Clowns and police, and commentary.  Why your old TV is no good, if you plan on watching 20:9 Philips TV a lot.

The soon to be released Sin City Blu-Ray disc will include a lot of extras. Included in those extras is the following piece of footage. I found it interesting and, well, maybe some of you will as well. Cheers!
